Simple Stems

CAS259I had a little time this morning (before getting down to some SERIOUS grading) and thought the CAS challenge on SCS looked like fun.  It’s a sketch challenge based on p 37 of our SU catalog.  I thought it would be fun to play along.

This really is an easy card but the switching out of the colors for the greeting was a bit time consuming.  Of course I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure things were nice and straight and lined up.  What can I say…I have issues!

Here’s the details –

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded.  Use envelope punch board to round bottom left corner
  • Whisper White – 3 3/4 x 5.  Again use envelope punch board to round bottom left corner
  • Stamp greeting (six-sided sampler using Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Bermuda Bay.
  • Add to card front using dimensionals
  • Stamp flower and leaf/stem using basic black.  I colored in the leaves using Basic Black marker.  Cut out and add using dimensionals.

Yep…it’s as simple as that.

TSSC301WOW…is it REALLY Monday AGAIN?  Where does the time go?  Since it is Monday, it is time again for the Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  It’s a fun sketch…especially if you turn the sketch on its side!  Well…at least, that is what I did!

Here’s the details…

      • Real Red 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
      • Whisper White – 3 1/2 x 4 3/4.  Stamp the greeting in Soft Suede.  Layer onto Coastal Cabana – 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.
      • Add the Crumb Cake print 1 3/4 x 3 1/2.
      • Add thee banners – smallest banner from the banner framelit set.  Add to card front
      • Tie piece of Real Red 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon around panel then add panel to card front using dimensinoals.
      • Stamp heart image twice – once in  Coastal Cabana and once in Real Red, cut out and add to card front using dimensionals.

Add some Basic Rhinestone for a little bit of bling

TSSC301See my card looks just like the sketch (well almost) if you just turn it on its side!  Don’t forget to check out the other members of the team and remember go to the Technostamper blog to play along!
